Description
The Inuktun NanoMag™crawler is a custom video inspection vehicle for confined spaces. The vehicle
features a worm-drive NanoTrac crawler platform with front and rear color cameras. Both cameras have
their connections made in the center cross section of the frame and are mounted low between the tracks
giving the vehicle an overall height of two (2) inches. The tether has a length of 100 feet (30 meters) and
is terminated inside the left rear frame portion where it also is restrained. The vehicle is equipped with 10-
barrel style magnets that can be found at the bottom of the vehicle behind two retainer plates. This allows
the vehicle to crawl up and down a steel wall in any direction and operate completely inverted on a
reasonably smooth surface.
The NanoMag crawler features a full function pan and tilt front camera with manual focus that can focus
in on an object less than one (1) inch away. It is operated from the controller as well as the pan and tilt
functions as well as the six (6) LEDs. The lights are fully adjustable in intensity from off to bright. The rear
camera is fixed, as is the focus setting. Focus has been preset from six (6) inches to infinity.

•Due to the varying range of operational requirements and environmental factors encountered at
different locations, it is recommended that a Task Based Risk Assessment is performed before
deploying the equipment.
Caution: Disconnect the power source before servicing the product; otherwise, damage may result.
System Setup
Working Environment
The NanoMag™system is to be used in a dry, covered environment only. The controller, tether and
vehicle are not waterproof. Keep all cords and cables away from water.
Recommended operating temperatures are between 0 º and 50 ºC.
Controller System Options For Nanomag
The NanoMag vehicle is designed to be powered and operated using the Versatrax™control system.
Several controller options are required for proper operation of the NanoMag. These are:
•Pan / Tilt Speed must be set to AUTO.
•Track Reversal must be set to LEFT.
•Track Type must be set to NanoMag .
•Chassis Type must be set to PARALLEL.
A number of Versatrax controller functions are not used with the NanoMag system and can be ignored.
These are:
•Encoder Functions
•In-Line Chassis Configuration
•Master/Slave Mode
•Pan & Tilt Camera Feedback
•Zoom
•Aux AC Lights Control Knob
Avoiding Tether Damage
The tether is the most vulnerable part of the NanoMag system. Tether damage is a serious matter but is
generally avoidable through proper handling. As a precaution, we recommend that anyone using or
handling the NanoMag system read and understand the Caring for the Connector section before working
with the system.

System Operation
Pre-Operations Inspection
Before each mission:
1. Ensure that all fasteners are in place and secure.
2. Check all the controller connections.
3. Check that there is no mechanical damage to the vehicle and tether.
4. Power up the system and test each function to ensure proper operation before sending it on its
mission.
5. Check that the Vehicle Type is set to NANOMAG.
Warning: Vehicle type must always be set to NANOMAG as motor damage will occur if the vehicle type
is wrong (The 24-Volt motor will be sent 48 volts).
Post-Operations Inspection
At the conclusion of each mission:
1. Visually inspect the vehicle for damage or entrained debris.
2. Test each function to ensure proper operation.
3. If the mission is totally complete, power down the system.
4. Clean the system and store it properly in a dry environment for next use.
Note: If the NanoMag™ is put away in good working order, deployment time is minimized the next time
the vehicle is needed.
Controller Operation
Refer to the Versatrax™controller manual for controller setup and operating instructions.
Note: The portable controller routes rear (AUX) video directly to the built-in monitor and recorder.
Consequently, the Auxiliary Video jack on the portable controller is disabled.
Maintenance
Changing a Track Belt
The NanoMag can be outfitted with either a low-profile belt for magnetic operation, or with a deep lug belt
for non-magnetic operation.
Note: For easy identification, the idler wheel has six (6) screws versus four (4) screws in the drive wheel.
1. Remove the six screws from the idler wheel cover and remove the cover.
2. Loosen the idler screw (Allen Flat Head) using a 5/32” Allan key.
3. Slip the belt off the idler wheel.

4. Install the new belt.
5. Tension the new belt by pulling forward on the idler wheel and then tightening the Allen Flat Head
idler screw.
Re-install the wheel cover and tighten the six (6) screws again.
Magnet Installation and Removal
The magnetic strength of the vehicle can be varied by adding or removing magnets.
1. Determine North and South of each individual or entire stack of magnets. Refer to the photograph
above.
2. Using a compass, align it with the magnets as show. When the needle shows ‘North’, the top of
the magnet closest to the compass will be north as well. Consequently, the bottom end of the
stack will be the ‘South’ end.
3. Mark the stack with an ‘N’ and an ‘S’ accordingly.
4. Mark each magnet with a black dot at the ‘North’ position.

5. Follow the photographs above for the insertion of magnets. To remove magnets, reverse the
procedure.

Warning: These magnets are very powerful. When removing the screws from the magnet retainer plate,
maintain good pressure on the plate. Failing to do so will allow the magnets to jump out and could easily
pinch or cut your fingers.
Caring For The Tether
The tether should be considered the most important part of the vehicle system. It feeds power and
control signals to the vehicle and returns data from the sensors. If the tether becomes damaged from
improper use, poor handling or an accident, the vehicle may become crippled or inoperable. This is a
serious situation because of the cost for tether repairs, as well as significant downtime and loss of
production. For maximum tether life and reliability, Eddyfi offers the following tether handling tips:
Never step on the tether. Trampling the tether underfoot may crush conductors, leading to premature
failure. Trampling is also abrasive to the tether jacket. Trampling fosters the wrong attitude toward the
tether. Remember that this is an expensive multi-conductor tether, not a common electrical extension
cord.
Never allow passenger or utility vehicles to drive over the tether. This will do concentrated, immediate
and permanent damage. Set up cones or blockades to keep vehicles away.
Do not bend the tether beyond its minimum bend diameter. If the tether has difficulty bending, you have
bent it too far. If the tether is bent beyond its minimum diameter on pulleys or around corners wire fatigue
will be accelerated. It is important that a winch drum and any pulleys or tackle supports the tether
beyond its minimum bend diameter. For an extended fatigue life, the minimum bend diameter should be
considered larger.
Never kink the tether. A fully bent back kink causes local but permanent deformation in the tether. This
can be serious because accelerated wire fatigue is subsequently concentrated at the kink location. Take
precautions to never allow the tether to kink. Kink situations may occur when there is slack tether with
closing loops, or when coils slip off a full drum.
Do not snap load the tether. Loads may peak at a very high value when the tether snaps taunt. Snap
loading may easily occur when a slack tether is reeled onto a motorized spool, or when the transport
device is suspended from a swinging deployment crane.
Avoid loading the tether unnecessarily. Unnecessary large loads will only shorten the fatigue life of the
tether.
